Pike & Rose is a mixed-use development in the form of an ersatz downtown in North Bethesda, Maryland, a block away from North Bethesda station of the Washington Metro. Its first phase opened in 2014. Pike & Rose now comprises 379,000 sq ft (35,200 m2) of retail, 864 residential units, a 177-room hotel, and just under 300,000 sq ft (28,000 m2) of class-A office space. Retail anchors include REI, West Elm, and Uniqlo.[1][2] Amp by Strathmore, a 200-seat music venue, was adjacent to an iPic movie theater and closed at the end of June 2024.[3] There is also a Porsche auto dealership.

Montgomery County, Maryland has allocated $150 million for the area's development and envisions an eventual 20,000 residential population. The developer is Federal Realty Investment Trust, known for other mixed-use developments at nearby Bethesda Row as well as Santana Row in San Jose, California and Assembly Row in Somerville, Massachusetts.[4]

Elements of the complex include:[4]

  • Pallas, a 20-story building, of which the top half is residential and the bottom half is a Canopy by Hilton hotel
  • The Henri, another high-rise residential building that has architectural elements mimicking New York City's Puck Building
  • 909 Rose, a high-rise office building (tenants include Federal Realty Investment Trust[5])
  • 915 Meeting Street, a high-rise office building (tenants include Choice Hotels and Sodexo)
  • 935 Prose, a high-rise office building (under construction)

The development is named after two of the roads that border it, Rockville Pike and Montrose Parkway.[6] Much of the development is on the former site of Mid-Pike Plaza, a shopping center whose original anchor tenant was an E.J. Korvette discount department store.[7]
